One of the lost 'sun temples' has been likely excavated in Egypt
Archaeologists have discovered a mud-brick building believed to be one of the lost "sun temples" south of the Egyptian capital Cairo, Anadolu Agency reported. The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities said the building was found by an Italian-Polish archaeological mission in the Abusir region, south of Cairo. "Preliminary studies indicate that the new discovery may be one of the four lost sun temples that date back to the Fifth Dynasty (2465 to 2323 BC)," the ministry added in a statement.
According to the statement, part of the building was removed by King Nyuserre to build his temple.
The ministry said excavations will continue at the site to get more information about the discovered building.
Sun temples were built in dedication to Ra, the sun god in ancient Egypt. Six sun temples are believed to have been built, but only two have been uncovered until now.

When CERN announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, some controversy sprang from Gianotti's use of the Comic Sans typeface in the presentation of the results. Alby Reid, a physicist, started an online petition calling for Microsoft to change the name of the font to Comic Cerns. Vincent Connare, the font's creator, tweeted support for the petition. Gianotti had used Comic Sans in previous presentations, but the controversy was generated due to the importance of the material presented.

Albert Einstein: Psyops = mc² - An anecdote from a cryptocratic pet project.
"In 1929, Albert Einstein – theoretical physicist and Nobel prize winner – visited the Belgian Royal court and a friendship began between him and the Queen of the Belgians, born Elisabeth of Bavaria. They played music together. She blamed the skin flute and he was
a heckuva pianist. He played using one finger but he was known for hitting all the right notes causing his flautist to hit that high C note while curling her toes."
"Luckily for her, he did not stay away for long, and in October 1930, he came by with several others and Elisabeth enjoyed their company and even took their photos with her own little camera. They also played music for several hours, and then he unexpectedly was invited over for dinner (spinach with eggs and potatoes) which was just with the King and Queen and no staff. He wrote to his wife, “I really enjoyed my visit, and I am sure they feel the same.” During a more formal dinner at the end of the visit, he was seated next to Elisabeth.
